Claiming Red: The O'Connell Family(19)

“Hey dad. You called?” I had a bad feeling about it.

“You have to bring her back home.” His voice was steady, but I could tell that something was upsetting him.

“Why the fuck would I do that?”

“Her parents were found executed this morning.”

“Uncle must have found them, he fucking lied to me.”

“No he didn’t. It wasn’t him or at least that is what he says. I believe him because he could trust me to not rat him out, plus, I just know...” I know there was something he wasn’t telling me.

“Then who do you think it was?”

“You know Moreno, and your uncle weren’t the only ones they tried to sell her to, or pawn off on.”

“Yes and I am trying not to think about it. Yet, you want me to come back with her.”

“Yes, the police have been looking for Sam. They don’t know she left with you. They want to bring her in for questioning.”

“Fuck, I will have to tell her. Fuck.”

“What do you have to tell me?” I didn’t know if it was because she was stealthy or was it the ringing in my ears from the shit storm that was going to go down, but I didn’t hear her approach. We had just gotten to know each other more, in the privacy we had. I didn’t want her to hurt and I knew she would be upset.

“Hey baby did you have a nice bath?” I tried to play that shit off, but my girl was no dummy.

“Yes I did, Rick. Now tell me what you have to tell me? Don’t lie to me. People who love each other don’t keep secrets from each other.”

“Baby, I am not keeping anything from you, it’s just not good news. In fact, it is really bad news.”

“Did your uncle put a hit on me, or something?”

“No babe, according to my dad, my uncle had nothing to do with what I have to tell you. Come let’s sit down.”

“Rick you are scaring me.” I could feel the nervous energy coming from her.

“Samantha, your parents were killed.”

“When? How?”

“Babe, it’s not important how, but it was either, last night, or this morning.” I pulled her into my arms and on my lap, as the tears fell. It was about five minutes later when the tears stopped and she had pulled her shoulders back and put up her chin.

“We have to go back, don’t we?”

“Yes Red we do. The police want to talk to you. Don’t worry I will handle everything. All you have to do is let me hold you, when you need it.”

“What if I just want it?”

“Well as far as I am concerned, if you want it, then you need it.” I pulled her back against my chest, and squeezed her tight.

“How is it that my world has changed, so drastically, again?” It was barely above a whisper, but I could hear the heartache.



We pulled up to the police station earlier than expected. We came straight from the airport because she wanted to get this over with. As we were exiting the car, Travis was coming down the stairs.

“Brady!” She jumped out of the car, and into his arms. Fuck, if I didn’t want to pop him in the mouth.

“Samantha, sweetheart, I am sorry about your parents.” He hugged her tight to him and I wanted to out his ass. He pulled her away to wipe her tears. Walking up to them, I pulled her to side, wrapped my arm around her waist and held her tightly. With other men around, it’s like I forgot that I spent a whole day buried deep in her. We delayed our trip back because she was too busy riding my cock by the pool. We never did get her swimsuit.

“O’Connell.”

“Williams”

“Are you two going to fight?”

“Not yet,” Travis said.

“Nope, I will wait until you are tied to me, before I kick his ass.”

“You wish.” Muttered Travis as the sheriff came out to greet us.

“Miss Lake…Mr. O’Connell. I am glad you could make it. Miss Lake I am sorry about your loss.”

“Thank you.” There was no sincerity in her words, but they knew that she had issues with her parents.

“Yes Sheriff, we are here for the interview.”

“That’s good. Travis, please join us as well.” I watched as my girl looked confused and looked around for someone else standing by us, but there was no one. I knew this secret could blow up in my face. I promised not to lie, or keep secrets, but I had been keeping this one since the first night after we met. She was not going to be happy.

“Come on baby, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home.” I pulled her back against me half hard rod and quietly whispered, “I want to go home and plant my seed in you, so you will have to marry me.”

My sassy woman made my day by waving her ring and with a sweet whisper, “I don’t have to marry you; I want to marry you.” I spanked her ass, she was asking for it hard.
